Re: Weekend Plans?
Pretty boring....
Friday- H picked up some OT so I'm hanging out with my friend tonight
Saturday- Some outdoor house stuff, stopping at my parents house
Sunday- Gym, cleaning, laundry etc.
Fri-use my early out to go to the gym, pull weeds, work in the garden and start cleaning. Try a new restaurant for dinner and watch Olympics.
Sat-complete cleaning (if needed) since we have a BnB guest checking in. Try to get to the gym. Go to the park to watch a free band with friends while we pig out on pot luck snacks and drink wine. Watch more Olympics and DVR in the evening.
Sun-going to see "Roman Holiday" at the old theater for their breakfast and a movie event. It has a delicious catered breakfast. Then seeing Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally (comedy) in the evening.
Saturday the hospital where I work has its annual walk for our Cancer Center. I'm helping with registration and whatever else is needed. Then H's family is getting together for lunch. And then, we're going out for dinner and to a soccer match to celebrate our five year dating anniversary!
I plan to spend Sunday recovering from Saturday.
Saturday - H is leaving from Nashville to head to a lake for a practice group retreat. So I'm going to my hometown to visit my parents this weekend
Sunday - Both of us are headed home, and then some quick errands before the week starts all over again...
Friday - more tiling this morning, DD#1 has a doctor's appt, errands, dinner with DH's parents.
Saturday - DD#1's birthday party!
Sunday - more tiling, grocery shop, meal prep, laundry, clean the house, relax
We are starting IVF, my job has been crazy, this weekend is the anniversary of sister and my uncle's deaths, and my really good friend knows how stressed out I am so she surprised me with a spa gift card last weekend as a "just because I love you" present! I am so lucky to have some of the most thoughtful girlfriends in the entire world. If I leave my house at all it will be to go get a massage and a pedicure.
Saturday - New siding materials are being delivered. I think we'll spend the day removing our front porch railing and work on building its replacement. Hopefully we'll find the time and energy to finish rebuilding the deck too.
Sunday - Probably spend the day with family so I can watch my niece show off her new trick - she's officially walking!
Saturday- H is working and I am going out to make salsa with my mom. She was just given two 5-gallon buckets full of tomatoes from a local farmer, so it'll take us awhile.
Sunday- I'll be mopping all the floors and doing laundry. I have a lot this week, so I'm really hoping H waits until Monday to do his I have to get up early enough to beat him to the washer. Haha.
Tomorrow: Weigh in at Weight Watchers then it's just DD and I all day. We'll run a couple of errands and then likely can a couple batches of pasta sauce. I'd like to also hit up the farmers market. If it doesn't end up raining I'll try to wash a couple of the cars too.
Oh and start draining the pool for the season.
Sunday: Church then probably a bunch of cleaning and spending time as a family.

Friday -- My half day. So it's always a good day. After work I'm going through all my (unused) toiletries...which for some reason I hoard and then never use...to weed stuff out and then take it over to United Way for the Baton Rouge flood victims. It's easier for me to let go of stuff when it is for a good cause. We also have a bunch of bottled water to bring.
Saturday -- p/t job in morning, have $30 in slot play to pick up from Harrahs. Should be able to kill those two birds with one stone, since I drive past Harrahs on my route. Mystery shop at a nearby coffee shop in the evening. Walking distance to my house, so my H and the Izzy dog will join.
Side note, you can't say the word "coffee" in front of my dog. She equates that word with "walk" and gets just as frantically excited. If my H grabs his insulated coffee cup for that place...not the other ones, just that one...she recognizes it and starts getting happy and dancing around.
Sunday -- resting and loafing around the house.
And I actually just got off the phone and booked the spa day. Hour long massage, body scrub w/ vichy shower, and a mani/pedi. I'm going to be a happy puddle of goooooooo
Saturday- our bathroom renovation is done! So it will be our first shower at home in a month. So excited. But then, going to church to paint the rectory basement walls, blegh. I was really looking forward to finally sleeping in this weekend, but no such luck.
Sunday - church for the first time in 3 weeks since we've been out of town a lot. Then, hopefully some relaxing but more likely cleaning, since the whole house is a dirty mess due to the renovation. Every single surface needs a good cleaning and things need to be put back in their places.
I have everything crossed for you. IF is a b*tch.
That spa day sounds amazing. Then go home and finish off that bottle of wine and watch some crap TV your H doesn't like.

I'm with you on this. It's in the high-80s/90s here and I don't dare go outside unless I have to. It's like walking around in an oven.
Oh the 80s/90s are perfect pool weather here. Once it starts getting in the 70's/low 80's consistently during the day then it gets down to 50s/60s at night. That's when the pool no longer stays warm enough to use. Our pool is Memorial Day-Labor Day here. The past couple of years I've waited it out to see if it's going to warm back up but it never does. So this year I'm just going to take it down before it goes green.

Friday, we went to one of those mystery dinner shows. It was really fun!
Today, working, because sadly my job makes me work weekends
Tomorrow, winery then dinner with my in-laws
My H did that last weekend. We had a bad leak with our kitchen sink.
Sorry I was a bad influence on you!
